How do I set my Branded Name Servers?

We provide you with a FREE set of Partially Branded Name Servers for all the web services that you sell. These Name Servers are hosted on Servers provided by us. These will be used by your Customers if they choose to buy any of your other services for their domain names, through Djamboe Domain Service. As such, you can customize these Name Servers only if you've signed up for the additional services viz., Domain Forwarding, Email Forwarding and Managed DNS.

You can alternatively choose to have your own Fully Branded Name Servers pointed to ours and use them instead. This can be accomplished by following this process:

1. Login into your Reseller Control panel from http://djamboe.myorderbox.com/reseller.

2. Go to Settings -> Name servers and select one of the following options -

Partially Branded Name Servers

You will be given 4 Partially Branded Name Servers, of the form

<prefix>.mercury.orderbox-dns.com
<prefix>.venus.orderbox-dns.com
<prefix>.earth.orderbox-dns.com
<prefix>.mars.orderbox-dns.com

This <prefix> is the same as the one used for your Partially Branded Control Panel URL i.e., <prefix>.myorderbox.com. Click here to know how to modify your Partially Branded Control Panel URL >>
 

Fully Branded Name Servers

If you want Fully Branded Name Servers, then you would have to create A records pointing to the IP addresses mentioned below.

Thus, if you wish your Fully Branded Name Servers in the form

ns1.mydomainname.com
ns2.mydomainname.com
ns3.mydomainname.com
ns4.mydomainname.com

you would have to create Address (A) Records for each of your Name Servers, as shown below -

  • ns1.mydomainname.com: Create 3 A Records for this Name Server, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 67.15.47.189, 67.15.253.220, 67.15.253.251
     
  • ns2.mydomainname.com: Create 3 A Records for this Name Server, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 74.54.56.227, 74.54.56.231, 74.54.56.236
     
  • ns3.mydomainname.com: Create 3 A Records for this Name Server, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 67.15.47.188, 67.15.253.219, 67.15.253.252
     
  • ns4.mydomainname.com: Create 3 A Records for this Name Server, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 66.249.5.25, 66.249.5.105, 66.249.5.122
     

In addition to this, you would also have to create Child Name Servers for your domain name i.e., you would have to create Child Name Servers (Register Name Servers) for mydomainname.com, using the IP Addresses mentioned above.

Create/Register all Child Name Servers with the following IP Addresses -

  • ns1.mydomainname.com: Create 3 Child Name Servers for this domain name with the same Host Name, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 67.15.47.189, 67.15.253.220, 67.15.253.251
     
  • ns2.mydomainname.com: Create 3 Child Name Servers for this domain name with the same Host Name, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 74.54.56.227, 74.54.56.231, 74.54.56.236
     
  • ns3.mydomainname.com: Create 3 Child Name Servers for this domain name with the same Host Name, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 67.15.47.188, 67.15.253.219, 67.15.253.252
     
  • ns4.mydomainname.com: Create 3 Child Name Servers for this domain name with the same Host Name, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 66.249.5.25, 66.249.5.105, 66.249.5.122

IMPORTANT

It is imperative that you create and use all Name Servers since these Name Servers are distributed in various Data Centres around the World and in case any one of the Name Servers is down, you and your Customers will not be impacted by this.
